Starting 1 October, STC is once again running the Member Get a Member campaign. STC’s “Reach Out, Connect, and Recruit” Member Get a Member Campaign is really about you—the member. You understand the value of your STC membership better than anyone, and now is the perfect time to reach out to your professional contacts and recruit them to join STC. A large percentage of new members join STC simply because someone invited them. Reaching out and recruiting a member is easy when you find yourself interacting with colleagues at meetings, online, on the job, or while networking.
Every time you recruit a new member, you strengthen STC. A vital and growing STC membership means greater recognition of technical communicators, improved educational and networking opportunities for members, and the advancement of the profession. Why not reach out and share the same valuable opportunities with your colleagues?
Simply tell your colleagues how you have benefited from your membership in STC and suggest that they visit www.stc.org/membership to learn more about membership and to join.
And for a limited time, recruit a new member and get rewarded for your efforts! For every new member who lists your name when they join, you’ll get $10 off your 2012 membership dues, up to $50 off. This program runs through 15 January, so start the conversation now.
STC’s Member-Get-a-Member page (www.stc.org/mgam) has recruiting tips, sample emails to send to colleagues, talking points, and more. Talk to your colleagues about STC—they’ll thank you, and STC will thank you, too, with a lower bill for your own membership.
